Once you install it to a hard drive partition, you then copy your kernel (zImage) from your DOS baslinux folder into your new /boot directory on your new ext2 basiclinux partition, and then you point your bootloader at that.
There's instructions somewhere (i think in the baslinux FAQ) for how to add it to lilo, and i am sure they would be useful to you.
This 'copying the kernel' business is the exact reason why it won't work if you run basiclinux and bas2hd from the floppy based version. if you copy the floppy kernel to /boot, it doesn't appear to work. It needs to be the DOS kernel that you use.
I'm a little confused, but i'll go RTFM
